Hi everyone,
we incubated five Muscovy eggs ordered off the internet from a supposedly all-black flock. The results were three barred blacks, one self colored black and one mystery color. She looks grey-ish brown in some lights with a ripple pattern on her feathers. As a duckling she was...
Ohhh yours are sooo beautiful!! I will try to take better pictures of mine tomorrow now that I know what to look for. And I‘ll try to see if the *shape* already shows on my 8 week olds! 😍
So one is chocolate barred (the one I‘m sure is female because she is small and feathered first). One is pied chocolate/white (feathered second). Three are plain chocolate.. two feathered third and fourth and the fifth is way behind and still no where near fully feathered.
Hi everyone! First time Muscovy duck owner here. I‘ve read so much about identifying their gender, but I change my mind every day. These five are all almost 6 weeks in those pics. The only one I‘m 100% is that the barred one is female. The rest... ideas from those of you more seasoned?? Thanks...
